All Norton wanted was a quiet coffee and Sacher cake at the Hakoah Club in Bondi, and to be left alone to sort out his troubled love life. How he let notorious conman Kelvin Kramer talk him up to Surfers Paradise for five days, Les will never know. Supposedly to mind KK and his massively boobed girlfriend, American model Crystal Linx, in Australia to promote her latest record. Though it did seem like a good idea at the time. Apart from the President of the United States arriving and Norton's domestic problems, there wasn't much keeping him in Sydney.

Norton went to the Gold Coast expecting some easy graft in the sun, an earn and possibly a little fresh romance. Les definitely got the earn. He certainly got the girl. But what Norton mainly got in Surfers Paradise was trouble. In a size 40 Double D cup.

About the Author: Robert G Barrett

Robert G. Barrett's infamous alter-ego Les Norton first appeared in a short story called A Hard Man published in Australian Penthouse. He is an amalgam of some meat workers that Bob met in Queensland many years ago and a former Sydney identity. Bob so liked his Norton character that he turned A Hard Man into his first book, You Wouldn't Be Dead for Quids (1984), which has gone on to be one of this country's bestselling fiction titles and is currently in its14th reprint.

Barrett grew up in Bondi, Australia, the son of George and Marguerite Barrett. He left school at 14 to do a few odd jobs before taking on a trade as a butcher around the eastern suburbs of Sydney. He gave up his trade when a hind of beef fell on him and injured his shoulder. While he was on worker's compensation, he completed three writing courses at the WEA (Worker's Education Authority). When his sickness benefits ran out he worked at various jobs: DJ, barman, or went on the dole. His first writing job was gag writing for disc jockeys on Radio 2SM. He also signed up with a casting agent and started acting in commercials and television series and appeared in what he calls classic A-grade clunkers, the movies Bullamakanka and The Empty Beach.

He has gone on to become a successful homegrown true blue Aussie writer. Fair dinkum.
